Interesting bit of SF.
Jul. 8th, 2021 06:49 pmThere's obscure SF book that is about an interplanetary race. It's called the Armstrong Classic after the first man to land on the moon.
Nothing strange there, right?
Except the book is copyright 1952, and has Major Armstrong landing on the moon in 1964. and the first Armstrong Classic is in 2000.
The book is Rocket Jockey by Phillip St. John (a pen name of Lester del Rey).
